Surnames: Bruce Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/XOG.2ACIB/1297 Message Board Post: I have until now been able to trace the Bruce name down to someone called Robert Le Brus in Normandy around 1066 ! Does anybody have anymore info going further back it all seems a bit hazy ! I just know he came to England after 1066 and he seemed to have had a fortress in Normandy I think in Brix ? I wanted to go there some time has anyone been there or know a bit more details ? I'd appreciate any help thanks John Bruce
